Louis, a very dear man, was born June 16, 1949 in Little Field, TX to late Ray & Dorothy (McBride) Lusk. He left this earthly life on Sunday, July 7, 2019 in Sulphur, at the age of 70 years and 21 days. Louis met and married the love of his life, Floy Clydean “Dean” (Stewart) Cox on September 22, 1980 in Marietta, OK, expanding his family by two sons, Kevin and Danny Cox.
Louis was a very generous, honorable and loving husband, brother, father, grandfather and friend, that lived life to the fullest, from fighting fires, to hunting elk to fishing. He never met a stranger. Had he lived in the “old days”, he would have been just like Augustus “Gus” McCrae, a real cowboy.
He spent many years in the fire service. He was a member of the Springer Fire Department and the Rock Prairie Fire department, where he served as Fire Chief. Louis spent his leisure time hunting, fishing and camping with his beloved wife and family. He as a great rancher and loved the cowboy life.
